Abstract

The aerodynamic noise around the high-speed railway bridge is studied by the train-bridge-flow field numerical model and theory analysis. With the background of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway line in China, based on the broadband noise sources method and acoustic analogy theory, both the intensity characteristics of near-field aerodynamic noise sources of the train and the spatial distribution characteristics of far-field aerodynamic noise around the bridge are analyzed. The results show that there is the largest sound source energy on the nose tip of the high-speed train; the fluctuating pressure between air and train surface contributes the most to aerodynamic noise; along the longitudinal direction of the bridge, the aerodynamic noise energy near the junction of train tail and body is the strongest; along the transverse direction of the bridge, the aerodynamic noise energy decreases gradually with the distance from the centerline of the railway; along the vertical direction, the aerodynamic noise energy is the strongest at a location of 1.2 m above the top surface of the rail; the train speed, train type, and the height variation of the bridge pier can affect the distribution of far-field aerodynamic noise.
